Create a new photoshop document with the size 250px by 250px, with a transparent background.

Now create a circle with Elipse Tool ( U ) and holding shift key.

Glossy-effect-01

Glossy-effect-02

Apply same blending option to the layer:

Gradient Overlay

Glossy-effect-03

Glossy-effect-04

Stroke:

Glossy-effect-05

Using Elipse Tool again, draw a smaller circle and center it on the first circle you have created:

Glossy-effect-06

Now apply blending option to this second circle layer:

Inner Glow

Glossy-effect-07

Gradient Overlay:

Glossy-effect-08

Glossy-effect-09

Stroke:

Glossy-effect-10

It’s time to add our final circle just we did with the previous ones, but we’ll create the last one inside the light blue so it looks something like this:

Glossy-effect-11

For this layer, we will going apply same blending option that we applied to first circle:

Now we’ll going to add some text inside the circle, draw it in the center of the circle just as i did:

Glossy-effect-12

Now apply the blending options to your text layer:

Gradient Overlay

Glossy-effect-13

Glossy-effect-14

Stroke

Glossy-effect-15

Finally adding glossy effect, Elliptical Marquee tool do selection just as i did:

Glossy-effect-16

Now create a new layer and fill that selection with white:

Glossy-effect-17

Now set that layer opacity down to 25%:

Glossy-effect-18

Now you have a great glossy icon is ready.
